Part 3!

Instructors from our 203rd Ground Combat Training Squadron led the 149th leadership team and other members through a pistol-handling refresher and qualification course of fire.

Readiness is a team effort. Though we operate in different domains, we share the same mission. Together, we deliver combat capability from the ground to the skies.

250 years of dedicated service, battle-ready training, and generations of unstoppable spirit to show up for this country when it matters most.

Our U.S. Air Force has paved the path of a winning legacy that doesn't stop now. When we celebrate this Independence Day, remember those who defend and protect this country.

The mission isn't over yet. Fly. Fight. Win.

Part 2!

During the command visit, the 149th Fighter Wing Commander Walter Ehman and Deputy Commander Weston Killian rewarded several of our Defenders with an unforgettable flight in the F-16 Falcon in recognition of their hard work and dedication.

At the same time, members of the 149th leadership team visited the range to see firsthand how our Defenders train in El Paso. Stick around for Part 3 to see how they did!

Lethality all around.

The 149th Fighter Wing doesn’t just dominate the skies—we lead from the ground as well. The 203rd Ground Combat Training Squadron and 204th Security Forces Squadron, two specialized geographically separated units located at Fort Bliss, Texas, exemplify excellence, readiness, and lethality.

Over the weekend, the 149th Wing and Mission Support Group command teams had the opportunity to spend time with our Defenders and recognize them for their hard work, dedication, and accomplishments.

These units are so outstanding that we couldn’t fit everything into a single post. Stay tuned for Part 2!
